In 1998, Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered in Wyoming because of his sexual orientation. In this unique examination of the events that surrounded Shepard's death and its aftermath, the author and his theater group present a play written from oral interviews of Laramie residents. The result is a surprisingly intense and moving work.

The Library will be closed on Thursday, November 24 and Friday, November 25 in recognition of the Thanksgiving holiday. We will also close early, at 5:00 pm, on Wednesday, November 23. We will resume normal business hours on Saturday, November 26.

Chester is a big fluffy cat with a wild imagination, which often gets in the author's way. If Chester doesn't like his story, he will whip out his red, permanent marker and write a whole new story. You'll laugh, giggle, and be surprised as you learn how mischievous this creative fur-ball can be.
